Question
If statement F is the last statement, which of the
following is the THIRD statement after rearrangement? Directions : A set of six statements is given out of which the last statement is fixed and the rest are jumbled in any random order. Rearrange the remaining statements in the right order and answer the questions. A. Collectively, the cases demonstrate how arbitrary the death penalty is and how its application is mired by a belief in conflicting values. B. But in the third, it not only found the accused guilty of murder but also deserving of capital punishment. C. On March 5, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court delivered verdicts in three different death penalty cases. D. In two of those the court entirely exonerated the suspects. E. Individually read, the judgments typify the deep confusion that pervades Indiaās criminal justice system. F. It also shows how the fundamental requirement of precision in criminal law has been replaced by a cry for avenging crime by invoking the ācollective conscienceā of society.Solution
The passage talks about the judgements pronounced by the Supreme Court in death penalty cases. Statement C is the first statement as it introduces the topic. Statement B and D state what were the judgements pronounced in the three cases. D follows C as āthose casesā in D refers to the three cases mentioned in C. Also, B starts with ābutā which means that the idea expressed in it is in contrast with the idea expressed in its preceding statement. Since B states that in one of the cases the death penalty was given, the statement preceding it should say that the death penalty was not given. Only D fulfils that condition. Therefore, D follows C and B follows D and DB is a mandatory pair. Statements A and E state the problem with the death penalty cases. E precedes A as it talks about the cases individually whereas A talks about the cases collectively. Also, EA is a mandatory pair. Finally, F is the final statement. Therefore, the sequence is CDBEA-F.
